<TITLE>14. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 Then when Peter said, when Matthew said baptize them in the, not... What... Now who is Mary and John that lived happy ever after? See? You see who it is? When Peter turned around and said, "Baptize in the name of... Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ," well, he done exactly what Matthew... If he said, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost," it wouldn't even be mentally right.
Now, "Why do you baptize, Brother Branham, in the name of Jesus Christ?" Now, let us turn over here now and just watch. Now, who had the keys to the kingdom? [Someone says, "Peter."--Ed.] Who was it spoke on the day of Pentecost, now, and said, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ.?" [Someone says, "Peter, wasn't it?--Ed.] All right. Then the keys lock, "What you bind in earth, I'll bind in heaven." Is that right? "What you loose in earth, I'll loose in heaven." Is that right.?

L-49 Now, how many tribes are there of the earth? Three. Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. Now, that's Jew, Gentile and Samaritan, see. All right. They all sprung up from them three sons, if... God forgive me saying, "If the Bible's right." 'Cause that was... All the earth was destroyed but them three boys. That's exactly where our generation sprang from.
Now, three wise men came to see Jesus. The astronomy says that they followed three different stars, and these three stars came together and made the one star. You see? And the three are one, always See?
Now, the three attributes of God makes one God, It's not God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It isn't three gods. Jesus... Philip asked that question, said, 'Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth." John 14.
He said, "I've been so long with you, Philip, and you don't know Me?" He said, "When you have seen Me, you've seen the Father."

L-50 Now, I was explaining this to some women one day, and one woman said, "Wait just a minute, Brother Branham." Said, "They are one. That's right." Said, "So are you and your wife one."
I said, "But they're a different kind of one."
And she said... I said... "Oh," she said, "they're the same as you and your wife are one."
I said, "Oh, no, see." I said, "Do you see me?"
She said, "Yes."
I said, "Do you see my wife?"
She said, "No, I don't even know her."
I said, "Then Jesus said, when you've seen Me, you see the Father.' So they, they are a different kind of one. See? I said, "You see me, but don't see my wife. But when you see Jesus, you see God." He manifested God. He was a virgin born Son. And God the Father, which is a Spirit, dwelt in Him.

L-51 Now, a lot--a lot of Trinitarian people try to say... I was debating it not long ago. I find out it don't do no good, because no man can come to God unless God foreknew him and called him before the foundation of the world. "All the Father has given Me will come to Me," said Jesus. See?
And this man tried to say... He was a Trinitarian, extremely, and he stood up before the class and he said, "My precious friends," said, "Brother Branham is one of the finest fellows." See, you see right then I knowed there was somthing up.
Jesus said, "You hypocrites, how can you say good things, for out of the abundance of the heart speaketh the mouth." See?
And so, just trying to find favor with the people, he said... This was a Church of Christ man, and a so-called Church of Christ. Of course they're against all the true teachings of the Bible, almost, and you couldn't call them... I don't mean to say anything against them people in there, but them ministers are, if you'll excuse the expression, "Like the Irishman's owl: all fuss and feathers and no owl." So that's just about the way it is, you see, just a... They haven't got nothing to stand on, So... the modern Pharisees.
